Trying New Things....

Yesterday, just for fun, Ryan and I decided to introduce Izzy to a sippy cup to see how she would handle it. As it turns out, she did rather well. She was putting it in her mouth and trying to suck, so we added a little milk and with time, and practice, she'll get the hang of it! :O)
She also got a new board book from Aunt Brianne and she's learning VERY well!

Birthday Weekend

Well, today marks my 24th birthday. I suppose I should feel older, but I still feel the same!

As of late, Izzy is still trying very hard to learn how to crawl. She's still pulling up on things and loves to stand! She can't get enough of it.

Yesterday we went to the mall and walked around. It was WAY too hot to be outside...then ended the day with a nice dinner with a few friends and LOTS of birthday cake and treats!!

Iz, of course, stole all the attention, but that's MORE than ok with me! :O)

Look What I Can Do

Somebody is very ready to start crawling! We think in the next week or so she'll be all over!!

Fearless

Today I pulled myself up on the jumparoo all by myself!! I'm a fearless little girl now!!

New Funny Face

A new face Iz loves making. While she's doing it, she sucks air in and out really fast and it is just down right hilarious!!

Family Candids

Kisses from Mommy!
Big girl ready to go swimming on a SUPER hot day!
My Parents are CrAzY!!!

Silly Baby

A New face we love to make in our household at the moment!! SO Silly!! :O)Prunes mess with some green beans too!!

Behind, Behind!

My apologies for not posting lately, I'm very behind! We've been so busy lately I just haven't had a ton of computer time to get things caught up!
To start: Our baby girl is now 6 months old!! She can now pull herself into a standing position in her crib (starting with laying down on her back), and she LOVES to pull up to standing when playing with someone on the floor. She does all the work too, you just hold your hands there and she will pull up! It's amazing to see.

Secondly: She loves talking too. She loves to say "Ma Ma, DaDa, BaBa", but I know she doesn't realize what she's saying just yet.

Thirdly: She's trying very hard to crawl. She can get up on her knees and gets kind of stuck. It's also super cute to watch too! The girl has turned into an extremely busy body and has to be moving ALL the time now! I think Ryan and I are in major trouble when she really starts to walk and crawl!! HAHA :O)

Fourth: She's still doing really well with eating. She's now starting two meals a day, and it's so far its a slow process, but we'll get there eventually! She's kind of picky with her veggies, so it's hard to pick!

happy baby

a happy baby!

Baby on the move!

Izzy is scooting herself backwards now! She can go pretty far, but still hasn't figured out how to roll back over. So as a result, she still gets mad due to the fact that she's moving away from her toys! It's a pretty entertaining site to see!!backing up into a road block here....and then licking it! haha
It's been really hot this week, so we've been staying indoors to keep cool. Now after not really sleeping at night and not napping yesterday, she's asleep for now!!
